  • Applications

    Capsorubin is a natural carotenoid pigment primarily used as a colorant in foods, beverages, and dairy products to impart red-orange hues. It is also employed as a pigment in cosmetics and personal care formulations. In animal nutrition, Capsorubin may be used as a feed colorant to enhance the coloration of poultry and derived products. In industry, Capsorubin can serve as a pigment in inks and as a colorant for polymers and coatings.
